Somebody left a comment that suggested that I stick with what I know. Well if I do that then I might as well down tools right now because the jury is out on what I know. I can’t legislate for Jeroen or Steve but as far as I’m concerned you may well read about anything here. It reminded me of an accusation that was made in the good ol’ days of print that went along the lines that the stuff covered in the mag was there for effect. To celebrate some kind of smartass elitist sensory gratification. I’d like to think this thing is pretty open ended. But hey, I cured an addiction. The complainant will have more time on their hands now. That’s positive, right?

To paraphrase Mark P, if you don’t like or agree with what you read here or anywhere then start your own soapbox. Take the initiative and potentially bore the arse out of prospective readers like I do. I thought the Live 8 populist commentary was a bit more valid than my rather introspective posts about the trials and trib’s of life’s coal face but what can I tell ya?

It’s been (slightly) controversh. Some people liked it, some didn’t. Ain’t that the proverbial revelation. I’m still reeling at thinking that Pink Floyd were good and not just in the context of the event. Am I being punished?

A wee bit of background, etc.

This all kicked off as a print (Xerox) magazine in 1977 and now it's on the interweb. Named after the title track on The Dictators Go Girl Crazy (40 years old in 2015) the purpose has always been to uphold what’s good and pure and right in terms of rock’n’roll and its satellites.

It has nothing, nada, nowt to do with any festival(s) that devalue our namesake so don't send mp3's or anything else with regard to setting course for a career in the music business or anywhere else.

Take a look at what goes on here and if you think your fare fits then drop a line and maybe we can work something out.

I plan to put PDFs of all physical issues up here eventually and in addition, all Rockin’ Bones, Watch This and Fuzzbuzz.Maybe Psychedelic Basement, etc from Sounds too so that everything is in one place. Some of the quality of the source material isn’t terribly good but it’s all I have to work with. It will take some time. The 3 page pilot issue, “NBT 0” from September 1976 never survived as far as I know. Some of the content is a wee bit embarrassing at this juncture but every journey has to start someplace, right?
